Description
It would be handy to be able to register an alias to nodes. This alias would be linked to the user who registered it. It would be displayed in commands output of the user which has registered it.
This would allow to keep a sane device name, while still easing platform usage.
For example, let's consider a hands-on session, and the hands-on subject refers to nodes N1, N2, N3 and N4. Since each student group logs in with a different walt user, all groups can give those same 4 aliases to their nodes, without any conflict. This would make it much easier for them (not having to remember that node rpibplus-412-AD is actually node N2 in the subject...).

Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating where node registration stores user-specific information and where commands format node output. Done means a user can register aliases for nodes, reuse the same aliases independently under another user, and see their own aliases in command output.
